Observations have been continually kept on methods of distribution, and it was necessary
to take legal proceedings in two instances with regard to the bottling of milk in the street.
The defendants had been previously cautioned for a similar offence, and in one of these
cases a total fine of £40 and £2 2s. costs was imposed, whilst in the other the employer was
fined £5 and £2 2s. costs, and the employee £1.
With regard to milk churns arriving at City railway stations, observations have been
made from time to time in order to see that their construction complied with the Milk and
